An anonymous Bitcoin user has inscribed the full text of the U.S. Constitution onto the Bitcoin blockchain, drawing significant attention from the crypto community. The transaction, which utilized Bitcoin's OP_RETURN field, was approximately 44.4 KB in size and incurred a fee of about $83.41. This method of embedding data became feasible after the removal of the byte limit last year, allowing for larger data inscriptions.
The transaction's size and fee are notably higher than typical Bitcoin transfers, highlighting the ongoing debate over Bitcoin inscriptions. While some view these inscriptions as an expansion of Bitcoin's utility, others argue it detracts from its primary function as a payment system. The 2023 Ordinals boom previously intensified discussions about the impact of such activities on block space and transaction fees.
